LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham - Troy Baker

This morning, we reported that the original Caped Crusader Adam West will be voicing a least one character in LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. TT Games has just announced that famous voice actor Troy Baker will be returning to do the voice for Batman again for Beyond Gotham.

Baker has previously voiced a few other LEGO video games including LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes as Batman (Bruce Wayne), Two-Face (Harvey Dent), and Sinestro. He also did the voices for Fandral, Groot, and Hawkeye (Clint Barton) on LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. His most well known role was Booker DeWitt from Bioshock Infinite and Joel from The Last of Us.

Adam West Announced for LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham

LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham - Adam West

TT Games has announced that Adam West will be voicing at least one character in LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. Back in E3 2014, we reported that TT Games Game Director Arthur Parsons mentioned that there will be some famous voice actors and I threw out a guess that the original Caped Crusader would be in the game. Well I guess I was right.

As we mentioned last week, TT Games will be at San Diego Comic Con 2014 to present some exclusive gameplay, character reveals, and other special announcements. I’m going to throw out another guess that Mr. Adam West will be making a surprise appearance during the panel as well. With the including of Adam West in the game, you can expect some hilarious dialogue on top of the humor that will already be in the game. Get hyped if you’re already not. Also make sure to follow all of our SDCC 2014 coverage here to get updates of all that will be happening at the convention.

Update: It’s been confirmed that Adam West will be at the LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham panel on Sunday, July 27, in Room 6BCF at 1:00 p.m.

Brick-A-Pic Project Needs Your Help on KickStarter

July 14, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

I was contacted by Jake from Brick-A-Pic who is spearheading his LEGO KickStarter project. Brick-A-Pic is a website that converts your photos, logos, and other images into LEGO mosaics.

LEGO mosaics are a popular form of artwork in the LEGO community and Brick-A-Pic makes that process of creating one a little easier. They currently have a software that you can demo to give you an idea of how Brick-A-Pic works. One cool thing about the project is that, they also provide you physical LEGO bricks along with the plans and instructions.

Check out the video below for more details and test out the demo on the website to get a feel of how it works. The goal is to get $50,000 in a month so help spread the word.
